battery problems - Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi everybody
i have some problems with the battery, and hope someone knows a solution for it.
when i charge my ZUK competly and plug off, than within 5 minutes my battery drops down to 1%. the weird thing is, that i can use my phone normaly the whole day. its only shows 1% but i have still around 4-5 hours SOT.
i tried to delete my battery history & co. nothing helped. i changed also between different roms, also with the orginal rom. nothing helped.
any idea, how i can bring it to normal? cause like i wrote before, everything seems to be okay with the battery. it shows only 1%

Try Zui version 2.5 for zuk z1
Zui 2.5.358 is best in battery backup. You must try once this custom rom for Lenovo Zuk Z1, may it will fixed your problem.

Battery problems

Hi,
I konw there are so many of these threads but I've problem with a brand new battery..
I've a brand new battery and have calibrated properly after flashed ddjp6 with fugumod ultra...
Now when I play a game or use internet, it suddenly shut down (the phone) within 5 minutes even at 91% battery.
And when I started phone I put on charging, it copleted in 15 to 20 minutes...
Again use , again shut down...
Any one can help..
Thanks in advance...
Is it an original battery?
Ya
It's from samsung store...
Mine is also new nd facing same problem...
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
Is this a problem with some app?
Because phone shuts down before 0 battery...
I had this problem but it was solved after buying a new battery. Your new battery may be defective...? I don't know, try your friend's battery or something first.

Calibrate your battery using battery calibration app.. You can download it from market for free

I've tried it.
So I came to know that battery was 90% before starting internet,
Then shut down after a few minutes...
When I started the phone , it was 40%...
So before battery goes zero,
Phone, shut down...
Ive done it...
Battery 90%
Started internet
Phone shut down within a few minutes
Started the phone
Battery was 40%
That meabs before battery goes zero,
Phone shuts down
:what:
Is your problem solved?
Tell me if you get any soln...
I have the same problem! My battery is 1 year old. I changed few ROMs and Kernels, wiped batterystats... nothing helped!
I'm using internet for 5min. (100%->89% sometimes 70%) and than it shut down immediately.
connect it on charger (90%)
after 5-10min. charging, battery is 100%
without using it lasts for 3-5 hours.
Now I'm waiting for a new battery to come, and after I test it I will give a report.
Go to customer care...
I just have solved my problem...
If you can't find any other way...
so what did they tell you? you got a new battery? is it a problem in hardware or software?
I went to customer care and they are saying that its hardware problem
To nidjo 16
If your problem not get solved after a new battery, go for store,
Because we already have tried kernel and rom options...
My problem now get solved
Hope your problem get solved...
Well they told me that it was some hardware problem...
Though they didn't tell me about the problem exactly,
My phone is working good and that is what I need
I'm having the same problem.
Have anyone tried replacing the battery?
If the battery is even slight bend,
Replace it
Rude customer service by samsung
Samsung service centre in RK Mutt rd, Chennai is very very Hostile to customer.
I was treated worst by the 4 jokers at the counter
everyone acting busy and thats what prompted me to find this wonderful forum..
The battery problem can be solved as follows:
1. Discharge battery by games or any high battery consuming apps
2. Charge the phone overnight [it may take 5-10 full discharge cycles for battery to understand and give a good backup!!
3. delete Battery stats using CWM
Try an alternate kernel..
Some modifications I got with my customer care (which is very good! )
For 1
Charge after battery goes below 20 at least once a month...
For 2
Don't charge over night, when the battery is new...
At least for the first time
More stuff
Do not use much during charging...
At least internet or wifi
And don't charge for too much time...
(i mean when battery level is still high for use)
Cheers....
Had same problem
used a new Rom and new Kernel and tried so much.
Battery Calibration dont helped.
then i changed battery and yeah that helped since the new battery all is working well
But yeah if it helps I must say that i charged my phone most time via usb and used it for internet via usb teethering, now i only charge it over night and the battery stays much longer
When only use it for music and use internet only shot or use wlan then it stays for 3 or more Days and i think that is very good for an android phone !

Battery problem

Hi,
I have problem with in Jiayu S3 2GB. Under 50% battery drop to 0% in few minutes. Also battery doesnt last long , max 3 hours screen time and it is problem to use it whole day withnout charging, but normally screentime should be around 6 hours what i read.
I recived phone with Android 5.1 2015-06-23 tryed flashing newer version 2015-07-14, also tryed battery calibration, fully charging, discharging few times and still same.
When is fully charged voltage is 4,2V (measuded with app battery calibration) at 50% is only around 3,6V (this is almost 0 capacity for lion battery) and is turning off at 3,4V.
Have anybody simmilar problem? It looks battery is bad not just software problem, but dont understand that it is showing 50% for that low voltage.
Thank you

IF you are on lollipop then its software problem as 5.1 seem to have the battery bug, and never calibrate battery on MTK devices, Calibration apps mess up MTK phone,they are not made for mtk devices.
I recieved phone with defective battery, after changing it dont have any battery problem even with Lollipop.
I noticed that battery discharging very fast below 8% (Stock 4.4.4 13.08 and other KK versions)
Well, i had different problem
My phone didnt charge, no matter how much i change cables or chargers.
But when the device was shut down, charged well.
I bought mine from pandawill, so i sent them a mail,and they sent me another battery...
In the meantime, the problem had solved, maybe the battery calibration i did helped.
Anyway,i got now 2 batterys...

I also have the problem and have the following conclusions:
1. Battery level will be displayed correctly after a reboot. Otherwise, the battery level indicator doesn't change as quickly as it should: it doesn't go up as fast while charging and doesn't go down enough when in use.
2. The point where the battery indicator starts going down by about 5%/minute varies and is in connection with the time it has been used. After two days without charging and without using the phone for more than one or two phone calls, it happened at around 5%, while lots of screentime made it happen when the indicator was above 50%. Some experimenting made it clear that it's not the battery's fault (in my case, at least) but rather a software problem.
Using stock KK 4.4.4.

Try to go battery settings and find out what application is eating your power.
Hi! I have this phone and few weeks ago I had a similar problem, when my phone had about 20%, it spend a lot of battery and in some minutes, it was without battery. I installed the Xtreme Rom and this was fixed. I hope you can fix your problem too with this.
Sorry for my bad english
Battery not charging when on - Solutions ?
Hi all,
My Jiayu will not charge when the fone is on, will only charge when switched off.
Any suggestions ?
Thanx Geoff
Known problem.
Saw it at my phone and in another phone.
How to solve: charge with original charger and cable and then switch to the other charger.
It worked for me twice.
Play it a little if its not working, switch cables,chargers, turn on and off...
Good luck.

Note 4 battery problem after flashing some custom roms

Hi everyone, i have problem with my note 4, battery drops from 11 % to 3% very fast and charges after 85% very slow.. this problems started 2 days ago when i flashed dn5 custom rom i thought it was rom problem and flashed sixperience rom but still i have same issue also i tried battery calibration but again.... what can i do???? and my screen on time is only 3 hour. please help me, thanks.
Have you checked what's eating away at your battery? Settings => Battery (Here you should be able to see if anything is causing a drain).
If the settings screen doesn't seem to show anything, you could try BetterBatteryStats (This app will be able to tell you everything that's going on regarding running processes, wakelocks,... You should give it a day or so from a fully charged battery.)
And if even BBS doesn't show anything, I'd flash the stock firmware again (And check if it isn't the battery).

Well, in all fairness, mine is running CM 12.1, and SOT is a bit under 4hrs. Which isn't fantastic either. Quickcharge does slow down a bit after a certain percentage. You could try a new battery, but might be a waste of money.
I'm afraid I can't help you any further, maybe someone else can.

did u change ur battey? im going to buy anker battery as i know they have good ones
I am facing exactly the same problem .. I don't think buying a new battery will solve this problem.
My mobile is charging by AC very very slow and sometimes it stuck at certain percentage for hours and I tried many things but I am still facing this problem... While recharging if I removed the battery and put it again, the phone shows me that it is 100% while it was not 100% at all.
I wish someone can help us about this problem or if any of u guys tried a new battery and the problem has been solved, so please feed us back in here
Any updates!?

well after 3 4 days (i mean after flashing sixperience rom) everything is ok. discharge to 0% then wait and full charge + calibrate battery may fix issue. but still dont like screen on time. only up to 3.5 4 hours
That sounds weard...
I mean the good thing is we could change the battery.
I have a feeling this is not battery issue. it's exynos + apps running on the background. Try to root + disable unnecessary apps (maybe Android 4.4 Would give you higher SOT). I had Note 3 previously and SOT was at the level of around 6 hrs (snap processor) - now on exynos it's around 4 hrs on stock firmware (5.1.1).

Bizarre Battery behavior on lineage os 14.1

Hi!
I've been running Lineage OS for about two weeks on Zuk Z1 and I'm experiencing strange battery behavior. I get around almost normal hours of screen-on-time but in that time battery acts strange - suddenly dropping to 0% and sometimes working on 1% for hours.
Whenever battery drops to 0% phone gets switched off and when restarted it shows a different figure. My battery usage graph is equally strange. I have used battery calibration app but it was useless.
Can someone please help? Does anyone else have the same problem.

I don't have this device but, your best bet is to post this question within the following Official LineageOS thread for your device.

Your behavior isn't uncommon since few users experienced that. It's not a LineageOS problem. More likely your battery isn't good anymore. If you have warranty go claim it. See this there for similar battery discussions https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/help/battery-stuck-50-s-reboots-minutes-t3307717

The thing is the phone worked absolutely fine before flashing ROM and moreover the battery life is good but it powers off automatically showing 0% then when restarted it shows the original percentage again.
